England or Italy? Which team has the biggest support base in Malta?

When it comes to football, many Maltese are keen followers of the national teams of other countries. The most popular are England and Italy.

England supporters had a field day in the recent World Cup, with their favourite team continuing to advance from one phase to the next in the tournament, ending up in fourth place. As for supporters of the Italian team, although the Italians were not taking part, their supporters still followed the World Cup games in Russia.

This emerges from a scientific study commissioned by PBS and carried out by Dr Vincent Marmara’, a statistician and lecturer at the University of Malta. The study showed that it was only 4.2% who did not watch the World Cup because the Italians were not taking part.
